Two days before the New Year's holiday, the finishing work of Soning at the end of the year has been basically completed, and there is nothing to do.

Before getting off work that day, she received a call from Jin Xiaoshao, asking if she could help choose a gift for Tao Yu.

He has an early birthday, the second day of the Lunar New Year, and he is afraid that it will be too late if he does not prepare in advance.

Sonin was a little surprised, how did he think of looking for her? After all, I don't feel like I'm familiar enough to do this.

Jin Xiaoxuan smiled embarrassedly, "I also know you who seems to have a good eye." ”

"Huh? Where do you see that? ”

"You're looking for my eldest brother to be your boyfriend, what a great vision!"

Soning: ......

Xiao Jin Ye's speaking art makes it impossible to tell who she is praising for a while.

Soning happened to have nothing to do after work, and he didn't excuse himself, and agreed to go shopping with her.

I asked her in advance, what direction did she take? What price and type to buy, so that you don't have to waste too much time wandering around with a goal.

Jin Xiaoshao made this question really a bit unsound, and what I originally wanted was to shop around and buy whatever was suitable.

"Does Mr. Tao like to read?" Soning asked casually, so he could set a direction.

Jin Xiaoshao nodded like pounding garlic, "I like it, I like it, and my writing looks good, horizontally and vertically." ”

Sonin made her laugh and laugh.

Horizontal is horizontal, vertical is vertical, this is probably the highest level she can boast about writing.

Jin Xiaoxiao saw her laughing, and scratched her head a little embarrassed, "Hehe, I write ugly, my godfather said to give the pen to the dog, and the dog is better than me." ”

"It's okay, there's nothing to write by hand right now." Soning said and glanced at the floor plan of the mall next to him, "There is a bookstore on the top floor, go and have a look, books or pens or anything like that." ”

Jin Xiaoshao hesitated for a moment, "Then I can give a big gift!" ”

As soon as she said the big gift, Soning remembered the gift-giving captain Tang, the existence of the gift-giving ceiling among the people she knew so far, and the magnanimity of the shot was vivid.

But she doesn't look big, but she is very filial.

"How old?"

Jin Xiaoxiao considered it with a straight face: "If it weren't for the illegal act of buying someone, I would like to give it to him directly!" ”

“……”

The shopping mall elevator went straight to the top floor, and as soon as I got out of the elevator, I turned a few places and saw the bookstore.

The place is not big, the decoration and decoration are a bit light industrial style, because it is the top floor, the frame is very high, so the partition is divided into two floors, the roof window is a geometric pattern, covered with large glass, looking up through the night sky can also be seen.

The space is well utilized, there are many books of various types, and the distribution is also very detailed. It's the top floor, there are few stores, and there is no foot traffic. This bookstore looks deserted and unpopular.

Soning walked in front, Jin Xiaoshao followed behind, and it was rare to see that she was a little cramped.

She asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jin Xiaowhistle: "Children don't like to study, and they have a shadow on books." ”

Sonin couldn't laugh or cry, "Most of them are non-professional books, you can see if there is a type he likes." ”

When Jin Xiaoshao heard it, he frowned and said, "I'm just looking for professional books." ”

"Huh?"

"How to manage the underworld", "The birth of the underworld" or "The basic qualities of being an underworld boss" and so on.

Soning: ......

"I'm afraid it won't be published."

"Wouldn't it? I asked my boss, "Jin Xiaoshao swept around, crossed the bookshelf, and saw a person sitting there in the southwest corner.

She patted Soning, "There." ”

She pressed the book and strode over.

Sonnin looked in the direction she was pointing, and the man was looking down at a book, the glasses on the bridge of his nose reflecting a faint silver glow in the light.

Hiss......

How is this scene ......

Jin Xiaoshao came to him, he raised his head, and Sonin looked at it.

It's him?

Under the reflection of the indoor lights, his face seemed to be a little more rugged and weird.

Soning walked over without hurrying, and heard Jin Xiaoshao asking, "Boss, is there a book on the underworld?" For example......"

She repeated the titles of the books she had just asked Soning for, and seriously repeated.

After listening patiently, the man said lightly: "No." ”

He spoke in a hoarse voice.

As soon as the words landed, Soning had already walked in front of the two, and when the man saw that it was her, his eyes paused, and then he looked away.

It didn't seem like it meant to say hello.

Sensing this, Soning only curled his lips and politely showed his friendliness.

In fact, his attitude was already obvious in the first two encounters, and she didn't need to be too enthusiastic.

When Jin Xiaoshao heard it, he was extremely disappointed, "You are too barren." ”

Sonin paced to a set of glass display cases next to her, where a few pens were placed, and although she didn't know much about them, they didn't look like cheap minions.

She turned around and shouted a golden whistle, I don't know if it was an illusion, and a gaze quickly withdrew the moment she turned around.

Jin Xiaoshao walked over and leaned over to take a look, "I'm a bit advanced!" She turned to her and asked, "Boss, can you take this out and have a look?" ”

"Yes." The man took a key out of the drawer, turned his wheelchair around the bookshelf, went to the display case, opened the glass case, "Please." ”

Soning subconsciously noticed his hands, he also wore gloves today, and he still wore them when he didn't go out?

Then there is only one possibility......

Probably your hand is injured and it's inconvenient to show it?

But it's just a distraction, after all, it has nothing to do with me.

Jin Xiaoshao took one out, the whole body was golden, and there was no extra decoration, it was quite heavy.

"I rely on this dazzling, the gold paint is evenly brushed, how much is this?"

"One hundred and sixty thousand."

"......" Jin Xiaoshao heard it at first glance, his hand trembled, and the pen almost flew out on the spot. She carefully put it back, dignified, and sneered, "Sixteen thousand? Inlaid with gold, huh? ”

"Not really." Jin Xiaoshao was about to complain again with disdain, but the man said again, "Pure gold." ”

Don't say that Jin Xiaoshao can't stand this stimulation.

Soning, who has seen more than 200,000 pairs of earrings, is a little surprised, even if he knows that it is not a bargain, but he didn't expect it to be more than 100,000 at every turn......

The place is not big, the price is quite dark, no wonder no one is there.

Jin Xiaoshao coughed dryly, also to relieve the embarrassment, and took a wooden pen out of it, carved a bunch of things she couldn't understand, she looked left and right, "Actually, this is more low-key, it may be more suitable for old pottery, he should like carving." How much money? ”

"Well, good eyesight." After he finished speaking, he quoted a price: "Three hundred and ten thousand." ”

Jin Xiaoshao: ......

Say goodbye!!

The pen of Ma Liang??

Soning cleared his throat on the side, "Is there a civilian price point?" ”

The man pondered for a moment and asked Jin Xiaoshao, "How much budget do you have?" ”

Jin Xiaoshao counted seven and eight, "Five, five thousand." ”

He nodded knowingly, slid his wheelchair back to his desk, pulled open the drawer and took out a rectangular black brocade box, and beckoned.

The two of them walked a few steps to him, and he handed the brocade box to Jin Xiaoshao, "Do you like this?" ”

"Although this designer is not well-known, the pen is very good, both the design sense and the materials are first-class, and the brushstrokes are also very smooth."

Jin Xiaoshao opened the box, it was a black classic, there was a broken diamond above the cap, it was very bright, and there were two lines of small characters on the pen body.

Qingshan is not old

For snow-white heads

Jin Xiaoshao read it again and looked at Soning: "What do you mean?" ”

Soning spread his hands.

The person in the wheelchair chuckled, "Qingshan was originally not old, just for the snow-white head, probably some sour and rotten stories of the past and present lives." You just think of it as a beautiful picture of green mountains and white snow. ”

Jin Xiaoshao nodded half-understandingly, "I don't understand." But the sign is good, that's it! ”

After settling the bill, the two of them were about to leave, and as soon as they arrived at the door, Jin Xiaoshao saw the book, "It's Right to Raise Plants Like This".

She picked it up and shook it inside, "Boss, how do you sell this book?" ”

He glanced at it from afar, "I'll send you." ”

"Thank you to the owner! Happy New Year Boss! ”

Soning was still a little surprised, "You still raise flowers?" ”

"What can I do!" After speaking, he said, "My godfather raised a small pine tree, I don't see it grow when I go back, he definitely won't raise it, I buy a book for him to learn and learn." ”

“……”

"Oh, I also bought farmhouse fertilizer, which is made of and cow dung, and I also put it on it, so as to ensure that the towering trees grow!"

The corners of Soning's mouth twitched, and he kindly reminded, "It's such a hard thing, forget it." ”

Jin Xiaoshao was majestic and high-spirited: "Harm, no matter how hard and tired I am, I have to solve problems for my godfather!" Let's go and have dinner. ”

Soning: ......

Looking through the gaps in the layers of bookshelves, the figures of the two became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from sight.

Fu Chengjin was stunned in the wheelchair, his fingers tightly clutched the handle, and his bones were white.

The eyes behind the lenses hid a trace of tears that could not be contained.

Wounds opened one after another in his heart, dripping with blood and deep pain.

"I leave thee with wind, rain, and night; You smiled, I waved my hand, and a lonely road stretched out at both ends."

——

Soning and Jin Xiaoshao casually walked around the mall and found a restaurant, mainly to see that there were no people queuing.

As soon as they stood still, the two of them walked over.

One after the other, the height was almost the same, and the two looked away from time to time, as if they were also looking for a place to eat.

Sonin didn't have time to open his mouth, Jin Xiaoxiao next to him was sharp-eyed, and suddenly saw the one walking in front, and shouted excitedly, "Big brother!" ”

Sheng Fang looked over there when he heard the sound, and saw Sonin standing there, also looking at him.

If you bump into it, you will naturally sit at the same table.

This place is not far from Sheng Fang's residence, so it's not surprising to meet it, but what is more surprising is that the person who came with him is actually Rong Sheng?

But in a few days, the relationship between the two has been so good that they can eat together?

Sonin was still a little surprised by this.

And the eldest young master was also surprised that the two of them were mixed together, "How did you hook up with our family Xiaosuo?" ”

Jin Xiaoshao hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, "Misunderstanding, where can I pry into the corner of the big brother?!" ”

Soning: ......

The highest etiquette in the rivers and lakes, friends and wives cannot be bullied.

As soon as she explained that Jin Xiaoshao called her out to pick out gifts, Sheng Fang nodded and asked, "Uncle Tao's birthday seems to be after the year?" ”

Jin Xiaoxuan: "Ah yes, the second year of junior high school!" Big brother is here to play? ”

He didn't think about it in detail, nodded and hummed, "Okay, let's be together then." ”

The three of them chatted with each other, only Rong Sheng sat on the side drinking tea or occasionally looking at his mobile phone, rarely made other movements, and never said a word or two.

It is unusually incompatible with the other three and even the somewhat noisy restaurant environment.

Jin Xiaoshao looked at him secretly, not daring to look at him directly, and his little heart fluttered.

No way......

There's something, hey, it's stunning in the world.

Even if Rong Sheng was out of place, he was a little hairy, and he glanced sideways at Jin Xiaoshao.

Jin Xiaoshao:, he's looking at me!

Rong Sheng cleared his throat and looked away.

Jin Xiaoshao:, he's so cold!

Soning sat opposite and took in all her looks, lowered his head and took a sip to hide the corners of his mouth.

It's a little aunty laughing.

"What's fun?" Sheng Fang hung his hand under the table, took her hand without a trace, rested it on his lap, and played with her fingers.

Sonin churned at the other side.

After all, the eldest young master is a veteran of flowers, and he knew what Jin Xiaoshao's small expression was at a glance, and he said something as if he had no intention.

"You both know each other, right?"

Jin Xiaowhistle's head shook like a rattle, and he cooperated quite actively: "Who is this brother?" ”

"Are you dumb?" Sheng Fang Chong Rongsheng spoke, and his tone was not very good.

Rong Sheng glanced at him first, and then replied politely, "Rong Sheng." ”

Jin Xiaoshao: Damn, he's so proactive!

Wait a minute??

Rong Sheng??

"Two, second brother?" She hadn't seen Rong Sheng, that is, she was harassed by phone, but he never opened his mouth, so she didn't have a chance to hear who it was, and her voice and appearance matched her face perfectly.

"You, hello, I'm Jin Xiaoshao!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to go out, Rong Sheng glanced at it and ignored it: "I know." ”

Resting with ordinary people, how can this scene and dialogue be so embarrassing, he knows who she is but doesn't show a trace of recognition, and he doesn't want to know if he makes it clear?

But Master Jin, she is not an ordinary person, her brain circuit is different, she withdrew her hand, she was not at all uncomfortable, but her face turned red......

He's so conservative.

Sheng Fang and Soning glanced at each other, and it was common for this person to be able to bend and stretch without face and skin, and suddenly this delicate and infinitely small appearance was extremely terrifying.

The waiter brought two menus over, and asked Soning what he wanted to eat as he flipped through them.

On the other side, Jin Xiaoshao handed the menu to Rong Sheng, "What do you like to eat?" I'll help you out. ”

Rong Sheng moved his chair and distanced the two of them, "Whatever." ”

Jin Xiaoshao:! It's so easy to raise?!

She has even begun to think about how to make money to support her family in the future.

The meal was eaten strangely, and the meal was dispersed after eating.

Rong Sheng pulled Sheng Fang aside and said in a low voice: "Come back with me." ”

Sheng Fang waved his hand away, his expression disgusted: "Don't go on and on." ”

"Why can't you just go see Dad?"

"Wasn't his surgery quite successful? Lao Tzu is not a doctor to see what to see. ”

Rong Sheng looked at him suspiciously: "How do you know success?" ”

Sheng Fang's expression paused, and he sneered: "Newspapers and TV are all over the place, am I blind?" ”

"But he needs your ......"

Before Rong Sheng finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Sheng Fang, "Okay, okay, don't think that you can kick your nose in the face when you go out with you, get out." ”

After speaking, he raised his feet and returned to Sonin's side, "Let's go." He turned to Jin Xiaoshao again, "I'll send you back first." ”

Jin Xiaoshao hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "It's not good to trouble big brother!" Just as Rong Sheng followed, she stepped over, "Inner ...... Is Second Big Brother free? ”

Rong Sheng almost didn't hesitate: "No." ”

Seeing this, Sheng Fang glanced at him, "You send people back." ”

"......" Rong Sheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, brother." ”

He glanced at Jin Xiaoshao, big brother can only help you get here.

Jin Xiaoshao suddenly opened his mind, and his comprehension was abnormal: "Brother Xie!" ”

The two left first, until they got into the car, Soning looked at the Jin Xiaoshao who was still waving in the rearview mirror, and asked casually, "Do they have a play?" ”

Sheng Fang sneered, "Enough." ”

"How?"

"Rong Sheng's grandson didn't like to move since he was a child." Jin Xiaoshao was obviously too lively, too noisy for him, and his rigid personality could hardly accommodate her.

Sonin didn't care, "Then you still create opportunities?" ”

She was referring to the fact that she had just asked Rong Sheng to send Jin Xiaoshao home.

"Don't hit the south wall and don't look back, I'll let her wake up in advance."

“……”

As soon as the two of them left, Jin Xiaoshao and Rong Sheng were left standing there, the time was not early, and the temperature was several degrees lower.

When the wind blows, it swishs.

"Are you cold?" Jin Xiaowhistle took off his denim jacket as he spoke, and wanted to put it on him.

Rong Sheng withdrew slightly, "It's not cold." ”

Jin Xiaoshao: Damn! He's so pretentious!

She looked at him with a small face, her eyes burning, and there was a hint of shame in her straightforwardness,

Rong Sheng: "Give me your address." ”

Jin Xiaoshao called again, he made a phone call and went out, and a few minutes later a black car stopped in front of the two of them.

He opened the backseat door and said, "Get in the car." ”

Jin Xiaoshao got into the car and sat down quite cooperatively, and then he closed the car door, and he leaned over the window frame, "Don't talk nonsense in front of my brother." After speaking, he said to the driver, "The address is sent to you, and the person will be delivered to the door." ”

The driver answered and walked away.

Jin Xiaoshao didn't react until the car was out of the air, he didn't get in the car?

Groove ??

The driver was really responsible, and really delivered her to the door, and he didn't leave until she closed the door.

Her heart jumped up and down, she took out her mobile phone and dialed it, rang for a long time before Rong Sheng picked it up, and his voice was hoarse.

"Arriving home?"

"Here we are."

"That's good, goodbye."

After he finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, and Jin Xiaoshao shouted in the microphone, "No, you, what do you mean?" ”

"One meaning, stay away from me." After he finished speaking, he hung up directly.

I sent another message to Sheng Fang, [Mission accomplished].

Jin Xiaoshao is stupid here, this person ......

This man......

No way!

After thinking about it for a long time, he was so poor that he couldn't think of a suitable word to scold him, so he was so angry that he punched the sandbag.

Men are so troublesome!
